Quote from @Stephanie Walker:

I'm a member of two country clubs - for the golf and facilities - not the networking. I can't say it's been lucrative but I don't sponsor any tournaments and I don't tell everyone I meet that I'm in RE or about any of the other businesses I own unless it came up organically. I have closed a few leads from the clubs and I'm sure if I'd have more if I outwardly told people - but to be honest, they come to the club to have fun - not to be poached.

Quote from @Shanai Rogers:

I would invest into medium term rentals and continue to scale with the earnings and any other Investments that I come across

I'm pleased to inform you that there's a company where you can earn massively on a daily basis.

Massively on a daily basis eh? Lol.

I never worry about losing tenants because I buy in desirable vs "affordable" areas. I try to keep my rents near market rates which is usually a 5% increase every year.
